Excerpt from Larva Collecting and Breeding: A Handbook to the Larvae of the British Macro-Lepidoptera and Their Food Plants, Both in Nature and in Confinement, With AuthoritiesThe compilation of this work is no claim to great personal knowledge and very wide experience of the habits and food plants of the larvae in question, but has been rather attained by patient care, considerable labour, and the kind assistance of a few entomologists. I do not profess to have given all the food-plants upon which the larvae have been recorded or are said to feed, for (i.) the natural food-plants of certain very rare or local larvae are as yet either unknown or still remain a. Secret to the few, some plants or trees have been recorded as the pabulum in natural. Of certain larvae found upon them at rest or nibbling at them through lack of their proper food, while (iii.) in the case of polyphagous or semi polyphagous larvae, two or three food-plants are deemed suffi cient to name, with a note of their being general feeders, in order not to add unnecessarily to the bulk of the book.The book, being intended primarily as a of reference, is published in a form most convenient for carrying about on collecting expeditions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
